How to go about a KJF strat using 2nd edition rules,RR and no bid? My opponent usually goes heavy against Pearl and takes out China on J1. In fact, the last time he played axis he took out Sinkiang as well on J1.

I think you could make this work if you did the following: (keep in mind I am using the term “turn” loosely.  Think of it more in terms of once the US has purchased its attacking force and is now moving in.)

Turn 1: US buys only INF.  US places US ARM in E Canada onto Transports off the coast.  US Transports move to Gibraltar and unload. US places FTR’s on Gibraltar

Turn 2: US has Transports return to E Canada. US has INF purchased from last turn move from DC to E Canada

Turn 3: US places INF onto transports sends transports to W Europe and unloads.  US has ARM from Gibraltar move through Spain (costing 3 IPC’s) to meet up with US INF in W Europe.

A lot of times I send less ARM by transport b/c I can fit more INF.  This way you can shuttle you support units before you send your bullet spunges.

Now one thing you may have to look out for is German ARM to bring the fight to you in Gibraltar making it a costly battle (@ 5 IPC per tank vs. 3 IPC per INF) but keep in mind that the Germans will loose just as much b/c they will have to bridge Spain also sacraficing an INF push.

If they do you will have to put your INF in Spain and meet your ARM and FTR’s there.  yeah you won’t get the IPC’s from W Europe but you did effectively take pressure off of Russia and also make a foothold in Europe for allied troops to mass in.

sorry I was so confused lol

@dubya:

Sorry my last post wasn’t clear. How about BB and 1bomber vs. UKBB in Med. Sub and 3fighters in Uksz. The Question is what to do with other fighter? The point is moot as I have already played. Russia attacked EE but had to retreat. So I was able to attack med sub and Canadian trans. Sunk the Sub but tran shot down fighter. So it goes.

I assume 1 hit BB and no submerging sub rule here.

Try W EUR FTR and W EUR sz SUB to GIB sz v 1UK BB.
(2 shots first attack[1@2(sneak),1@ 3], then 1 shot second attack[1@3]
Try F/N FTR, UKR FTR, E EUR FTR and GER FTR & BMR v UK sz.
NEVER attack with the BMR on a turn when it can be lost (CYBMR.) :wink:

I recommend RR as it makes the game more balanced.
